Nature house in Ommen

This thatched cottage is located in the Vecht Valley, overlooking meadows. This charming Scandinavian-style nature house (sleeps 2), offering plenty of privacy, is situated in the countryside outside Ommen. A wonderful place to unwind in the fall and winter. With a little luck, you might even spot fawns drinking from the pond right from the cottage! You can enjoy lovely walks in the spacious private garden (2,000 m²) and the large pond and woodland garden (over 5,000 m²). Inside, it’s comfortably warm with plenty of natural light and a serene interior. You can enjoy playing vinyl records and soaking in the tranquility. There’s a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious bathroom with a washing machine. The cottage is a favorite among writers, nature lovers, and those seeking peace and quiet. Tip: Turn on the Merlin Bird app to spot winter visitors in the garden! Electricity usage over 4 kWh per day will be charged. For heating, an indicative price (based on actual usage) applies, ranging from a few euros to a maximum of approximately €12 per day during freezing temperatures well below zero.

The cottage is located at the back of a nature-rich property. We—Floris and Foekje—moved here in 2020 to enjoy the peace and quiet and to make a dream come true: to show people how beautiful nature is, that nature “heals,” and that it brings you closer to your “true self.” Our property borders a forest. Hiking and biking trail junctions are nearby. We collaborate with the Den Woesten Heide Estate, which also borders our property. This beautiful estate features a wide variety of landscapes, including many hectares of forest, heathlands, and the Varsenerveld nature reserve. We’d love to show you around. For groceries or more entertainment, you’ll find one of Overijssel’s oldest Hanseatic towns about 5 kilometers away: the town of Ommen. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful banks of the Vecht River to your heart’s content. Our guests also enjoy visiting the lovely Hanseatic city of Zwolle. It’s about a 20-minute drive away. Don’t be surprised, though, if by the end of your stay you realize you’ve barely left the property at all.
